Mixi of Stitched Up Heart is our guest today and we couldn't be happier. Since the pandemic began, Mixi and the rest of the band have jumped onto Twitch to connect with their fans, stream games like Among Us and World of Warcraft, and Mixi even began conversing with other artists for your listening pleasure.

With live shows looking to return very soon, the guys talk about the potential obstacles of that happening in a post-pandemic world.

Diamante shows up on the Chord Progression podcast today with her newest album, American Dream, as the great centerpiece to this episode. Diamante shares what it was like to make this album independently, what her mindset was in terms of creating the album she wanted to, and how working to earn a degree in business administration helped her with the release of American Dream in real time.   Plus when we dive deep into the album, we see how the album shows a growth of Diamante's overall style. We get some of her classic anthemic hard rock style, some ballad tracks to show a softer side, and some pop rock sounds that sound like Taylor Swift went rock and drank a Stone Cold Steve Austin can of whoop ass and put it into a track. One more thing... taco cannon? Enjoy this one everyone, and stream/download American Dream as of May 7th.   Find Diamante Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThisIsDiamante Twitter: https://twitter.com/DIAMANTEband Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisisdiamante/ Tik Tok: ht
